"You'll break eventually Kyra, now listen I have a job for you. if you don't listen I'll ship them away do you understand?" I nod tears already threatening to fall. "Good, steal from the castle, not just anything steal something that'll hurt."

"Of course sir."

"Be quick about it your husband won't be too happy to learn your making your way into Andres kingdom." I nod not wanting to say anything.

I sit up in bed rubbing my hand over my forehead today's going to be a hell of a long day. Maria immediately bursts through the door Ally trailing behind her.

"Spill now." Maria demands pulling out clothes for me and then tossing them my way. I sigh standing up and walking to the bathroom.

Ally plops down onto my bed watching me and Maria follows me. I pull out my toothbrush and brush my teeth, when I'm finished I shrug on my clothes and turn to Maria.

"Sit down this is a long story." She immediately sits down beside Ally pulling her under her arm.

"I have two younger siblings their twins, Maya and Ryan are their names my father used to be in this huge thug business, their goal was to dethrone some kings make the sons king. The sons were either a part of this organization or forced to obey it, eventually the plan worked most former kings are dead and their sons took over." I pause watching them they both have a lot of questions but they allow me to continue.

"My father drug me into this mess I stole for him I even killed for him, heck I did whatever he asked of me. My father branched away from the bigger part of the gang when the twins where born and my mom died. He's still a part of it he can't step away he wants power and riches and he wants it bad. When I turned 16 he started making deals with powerful men I didn't know what for at first but I figured it out. He was selling me to the highest bidder it wasn't till my 17th birthday that he found what he wanted a king, Jax. He sold me off to him I married Jax he allowed me to remain here until I turn 19 at the end of this year then he'll take me back and I become his queen."

"The Dragon tattoo is his mark it shows I belong to him, my father still wants me to steal for him until he gets his full cut of the deal last night what when I was supposed to bring him more. I turned up empty, he got mad and beat me."

Maria just stares at me slowly she detangles Ally off her and wraps her arms around me. "I'm sorry Kyra that's horrible."

"Please, just whatever you do don't tell anyone." They both nod and I let out a breath. "I won't bring you guys into this mess I promise just know I can't get out of it."

"Do you have a ring?" Ally asks quietly.

"What?" I look at her she messes with her hands looking down at them.

"I mean you said you were married to that Jax man and usually there a ring..." I laugh and she looks at me confused.

I walk over to my bedside table and open a drawer my ring lays in it I pick it up and hand it to Ally to look at.
